SInce the last time....

I have worked Sunday until Wednesday. I am off today then I will not be off until sometime next week. I have been very stressed about Will's lit class, but I am gonna put that at the back of my mind right now, I already have a migraine (woke up with it)!!
Will is having spring football practice this week and next. He says the are intense. His body aches each night he comes home. I rub his back with muscle rub, uck I can not stand to touch that stuff. Will received a National Registry Construction Award on Monday night at the AHS awards ceremony. We are very proud of him.
Casey had spring practice last week, he never complained about being tired or aching. His baseball banquet has been postponed until Thursday the 14th. It is a father-son baseball game with food and awards of course. Coach Kremer the AHS football coach ran Casey's spring training. Coach gave Casey and the others that had complete the training a tshirt. They have the new Adairsville football logo on the front and say BELIEVE on the backs!! KOOOLLL!
We are all pretty good. Except for the migraine which is at this moment telling me to hurry up and get off this PC. Lee is still having trouble with his right shoulder aches all the way down his arm and up his neck. He is eating ibuprofen like it is candy. We are getting old....aches....pain....OLD!!! We are working all the time or running around doing something. Our boys keep us busy.. I am gonna listen to my migraine and go!!! more soon I promise.....

Long week....

I know it has been a few days, things have been going on at a very fast pace. I thought I would catch you up very quickly. Our travel ball tournament got rained out this weekend. It was for the best because I have felt like crap all weekend. Lee hurt his shoulder,arm , neck Wednesday so he has been on the couch basically all week. Everyone is great. We have high scool honors night tomorrow night Will was invited so now we can not wait to see what he won. I know what the school councler told me but shhh it is a secret until tomorrow night. Casey has baseball banquet tuesday night for his baseball team. I am including their tournament picture. Casey is the tall one on the back row behind the trophy, you can only see his hat and one eye, go figure!!! Sweet dreams!!

I hope I get back soon so I can update you on awards and I have attended a few of my niece and nephews baseball/softball games. They both won the games I went too. Later...............

Wednesday...........

Hi!! I have been working today and I have just arrived home to a quite house. The guys are all at baseball practice. Today was a good day at work and Everyone in our house is over the bug, just left us all a little worn out. I stopped and picked up wings for supper soo... no cooking!! I am about to go collapse on the couch and watch a little tube before I retire early!!! I hope everyone had a good day. Things are brighter than they seem.
I have posted a rose from the bush in my front yard. The bush was a gift from my land lord to her daddy several years back, he has since passed on but the rose is a reminder of our loved ones lost. I thought I would include it in my post to day as a thank you to John and Marcey for the kind of person he was and the awesome daughter he put on this earth. Thanks Marcey!!! And I miss you Momma!!

Casey and Garrett...

These two are not used to warming the bench you can tell by there faces, but I wa good a coaxing a smile from them...

Garrett is our ace pitcher and Casey is the first string catcher. They are truly good playersbut, everyone has to sit on the bench sometimes!!!! This was their time. GArrett pitchewd great Sunday and Caseys catching was right on. We won both games on Sunday. Go Bulldogs!!!!!!!!!

Weekend Over....

I was off all weekend... Our travel ball team had it's first tournament of the year... We lost two games but, we won two games so we are 500... right? We looked pretty good, it is gonna take a few more organized games for all the players to mesh together. We had a practice tourney a couple of weekends ago, that helped us too.
Now the stomach bug has hit our house wide open with 2 of us being knocked by it, 2 more of us to go. I do not know why byt, usually one of us is fortunate enough not to get sick... lets hope, ok???
The middle school team is being honored at the high school baseball game tomorrow night, I will have to miss it because of work but, I am gonna see if Dean will take some pictures for me... I love pictures they are they key to memories....
HAve a good day... I am going to send more time being nurse and momma...

Friday ... Champion ship game...

Well, we lost to woodland 6-3 in the chapion ship game. It was a good agame, a few questionable calls, but most games have them. We are glad the championship team is from our county. Garrett pitched an awesome game for Woodland, he plays on my husbands travel team. Casey found it hard to bat off him because he is one of Dawgs best buddies. Watch out for us next year we will be ready!!!



We start our traveling season tomorrow, in Dalton at Al Rollins field. It is a round Robin tournament so you have to play to win all 4 games. We are ready. Gaerrett will have to take Saturday off piching but hopefully he will be ready for Sunday. I will update you over the weekend.



Awesome season Tigers, we will get them next year!! Here is a picture of our boys on their field trip to Alabama over spring break!! Thay had a blast.

Casey is the far one on the right second roll, grey tshirt and shorts with green hightops!! Thay are a great team and we are all proud!!

Thursday........Game day....

We Won!!!!!!!! Adairsvilee Middle School 5 Calhoun MS 3!!! We play in the championship game Friday @ 6:30pm!!!!!!!!!!!! We beat the number 1 seed!! Go Tigers!!!! Our guys wanted you could see it on their faces. In the bottom of the 6th inning Casey took his catchers helment up and it was sitting on the top of his head. He looked at Tristin and smiled from ear to ear. There were 2 outs and you could just seeee.... How bad he wanted it. They all played hard and it was a wonderful team effort. Dylan and Tristin both pitched great they made Casey's job behind the plate look easy.

One of the girls at work are swapping with me tomorrow so I can get off work in time to see the game, Thanks Hannah. Today was great, its getting late and I am headed to bed. More news Later...........

Wednesday........

Well, it has been a week since I have posted. I have been really busy. I worked today and missed my son Casey's 1st game in the middle school tournament. I say 1st because it is single elimanation and we won!!!! 13-2!!!!!!!! We play game 2 tomorrow night at 6:30 against number one ranked Calhoun. We have got this!! Positive attitude is everything!!!

We are all good. I have to work tomorrow, got my taxes filed today. So I have done my part. I am going to bed soon, so I can be ready for tomorrow. Later....

Sunday..

Well, Lee and I actually slept in. That never happens!! Lee and Will went to my in-laws and borrowed the riding mower. It took them all of 10 minutes to mow. We need a push mower, we do not have much grass at all. Our yard looks very nice though.
I went to Food Lion and bought groceries. It's spring break so I had to have breakfast and lunch stuff for the boys. No, I am not a bad parent, I do feed them. It's just during the week they usually eat those two meals at school.
Lee's traveling team had baseball practice. They are looking like a team now. They really look pretty good. Lee and I gave the uniforms out. The boys loved them. They are gonna be super sharp looking if nothing else. I expect them to win their fair share too.Will is the first base coach for the bulldogs. I am glad since he is not allowed to play first base for a team. He will be fully recovered by spring practice for football and he is very glad of that.
This afternoon it started cooling off and now I heard the weatherman is predicting snow for Tuesday. Give me a break it is Spring break!! I wanted snow in Jan. and Feb.not now!!!
I will get to spend part of the day with the boys since I work the split shift tomorrow. I am glad Will is of an age that they can stay by theirself so I do not have to worry about a sitter.
I baked some cupcakes so I am gonna go so I can ice them. I hope everyone had a great Sunday!

Weekend...

First off I want to thank Carrie for my Friendship award it means a great deal to me!! I would like to give this award back to you because you are a good person and are a very dedicated mommy!! I would like to pass this award to Terry and Calpso, my blog friends. Calpso is a very caring lady that has a very busy life and is one of the best momma's I know!! And Terry is a lot like me and she knows how to keep it real!! Thanks for being my friend. They both are great people and I wish them many smiles!!

This is a beautiful day in Georgia. Casey's baseball double header got called because our field has been rained on for days. He is the catcher and hates a for his cleats to fill with in his spikes. It like makes it impossible to run.

Lee is working today and Will is helping him. Tracy and I went and picked up baseball uniforms for The Bartow Bulldogs. I will post Casey in his uniform along with Lee and Will in Coaches gear and me in my score keepers shirt so y'all can all have a look at my adoring family.

Casey is stir crazy home alone with me. I can not get him to do anything but, be on my space, haha I ran him off long enough to blog a little while.

Work is awesome!! We were terribly busy yesterday. I feel sorry for the crew that had to work this weekend. I talked to them a little while ago and they are finally almost caught up and it's 3pm!!! The people at my new pharmacy are all great, they are down to earth and that makes for a fun work day. They made me feel welcomed from day one and that is a very great feeling.

Next week is spring break and the kiddos are looking forward to sleeping in. Casey does not have baseball practice until Thursday so he gets a little break hisself. Lee and I are both working so I am gonna make them a chore list with one thing to complete a day, thats not asking too much is it?

Casey and the Middle school team are leaving Friday morning to go to Alabama to see the college teams Alabama Vs LSU!! Go LSU Tigers. They are staying over night and very excited. It will be the first time my baby will be that far away without me!! But he will bein good hands with the coaches, they are a great group of guys!

My daddy is coming home to Georgia to visit next weekend also. I have not seen him in almost two years. I am soo... looking forward to it. He moved to Michigan over 12 years ago and has not got to visit recently due to health issues.

My niece Sydney and nephew Ben got glasses last month they look totally adorable. As you can see!!! Syd looks a lot like I did when I was younger except I had reddish hair. Ben looks just like my brother-in-law Tracy. My sister has been very sick this week, I hope she is back to her old self real soon.

Work day...

I am about to head off to work, the VP is coming today so we all have to get it perfect!!! I am really excited about my job. The people I work with are very friendly, I feel like I have known them a lot longer than 2 weeks.

I am now gonna try to upload Casey's baseball picture.........I tried several limes last month.

I hope to get you guys fully updated this week-end, I am off work then!!!

Later.........

Everything is going well....

Sorry it has took me soo... long to get back on to update. I have been a very busy momma this week.

Will's surgery went well. He did have 3 things wrong and the doctor either repaired them or removed the bad parts. I am not gonna get into it because I barely understand it myself. He is doing well, he is putting pressure on it and doing exercises. Will goes back to dr Tuesday and if all goes well back to school Wednesday. It does hurt but he is excited cause he slept on his right side for the first time in over a month last night. Don't you have a side you perfer to sleep on?

Casey played baseball in the rain Friday afternoon, let's just say the game nor the weather were a pretty sight!! We got rained out od our double header Saturday, I guess we will have to reschedule. He plays again Tuesday.

I still have recieved NO unemployment so that is 5 weeks without me pulling in any money. I am soo.. Glad CVS has me on the schedule to begin my new job this coming Wednesday. I was not supposed to start till the end of the month but I begged. I hope our creditors understand, I hate being a day late on anything but it takes both of our incomes to survive. A up note to CVS besides having a job, I get paid weekly. That will help get out of the money crunck quicker!!!

Lee's cold is better and he is working a little overtime (that's all they will allow is a little), but after taxes it is not that much!!

I hope all out there are well. Live laugh and love as I said before it works.

Busy Busy Week

Well, just got home from Casey's Middle school baseball game. We beat Woodland 8-7. Casey had a good game and got an out at home. Way to go Dawg and Nate Dawg what a combo!!!My friend from high school Laurie came to see Casey play although she is a true Woodland fan she sat on our side!!! Casey's big sis Adrienne and her friend Kim to watch too. It was a good game for so many fan's to watch!!!





Will's Surgery is in the morning, I am more nervous than he is!!! I will up date after the procedure and let everyone in on how he is doing.



I got the job at CVS. I will be using my Pharmacy Tech skills again starting mid week next week. Thank goodness because I have not recieved one penny from unemployment!!!



Lee has relapsed and his cold is back with a vengence. I hope he is well soon.



Live, Laugh, and Love it will get you through the hard times. I know from experience!!!

Weekend is almost here.........

My interview went really good yesterday and hopefully I will be back in the full-time work force within a couple weeks!!

Casey has a game this afternoon, I have to hurry so I can get ready. We lost our first game, can everyone say ERRORS!!!! I hope for good throws and good catches today!! I am trying to post a new picture of him in his uniform if this blog would hurry!!!


Will's appointment yesterday was a little more than I imagined. He has several things wrong inside his knee. They are doing surgery Wednesday and hope to remove some fragments and repair some tears and also remove a lot of fluid. He also is going to get a very close looking at from the inside because his ACL did not look good, what ever that means. He said ACL would be a second surgery if it comes to that.

I have to go, Go AMS Tigers!!!!

I am OK....

I am gonna be ok anyway!!! I am looking for work, I have a job in sight--Just hope they are looking my way too. Seriously, I am waiting for a phone call. One of our family friends used to be my boss and he is hooking me up with a Pharmacy that hopefully needs me. Looks good but the sun has not been shining in my direction lately.

Will has injured his mcl in his right knee. He gets a MRI Monday. His doctor was very honest and basically said it does not look too good. He has to get it taken care of now so he will be ready for football, so... Doctor says NO BASEBALL!!!! Will is to say the very least NOT HAPPY!!!

Casey's middle school team has their first game next week. He is soo.. looking forward to it. He had his basketball banquet tonight. They got T-shirts and I even got a thank-you for keeping the books at the games. Coach Pethel is sending me a T-shirt tomorrow with Casey, he asked my size tonight.

I have been really depressed, I am usually not like this but I really liked my job and was not expecting it. I guess we showed always expect the unexpected but what kind of life would that lead to? I am trying to be positive, I can attend some of Casey's games that I would of missed and Will needs me right now. He has two appointments right now for next week, one Monday and back to Dr. Brown on Thursday for results and plan of treatment. It feels good to be needed.

Luke came this Tuesday and spent the night and most of Wednesday with us. I have a new picture I will have to put on next time! He is 8 months old now and stands but will not crawl for all the tea in China!!! He cheered us all up.

I will go because it is very late here, I can not sleep and depression dos funny things to us!!
I will be back soon, I Promise............

Busy, Busy.....

We have been so busy......I am at work today as well as I was here yesterday. I have been busy at work and at home. Once baseball really gets underway the only place I will be able to breathe is at work. It stormed here soo.. bad yesterday afternoon that the superintendent of our county schools called off all after school activities, so Casey had no ball practice.

We are trying to gear up for a meet and greet for our travel team. I have several committed, a few that have not yet let us know, and now two No's. So, I am not sure if it will happen or not. I put a lot of effort in to this event and I can only do it on my off days. I guess I will decide today and go from there.

We have got several boxes unpacked. Of course, we have several more to go. It feels like home and soon it will look that way, too.

I swear I am off work tomorrow and I am gonna sleep till lunch, so know one please call till then. I say this knowing I will be up to help my sons get out the door and then I will probably lay on the couch and read. But, I will be relaxing!!!

Have a great day...

Almost to the end of another working weekend...

Well, this weekend has been a little weird to say the least. I have felt funny and so yesterday my friend Tracy came by work to check on me cause I explained to her how I was feeling. She checked my blood sugar and I was well above normal "356". I stayed high like that all yesterday even when I was just drinking water. I am at "296" today. I called a friend who is a nurse and she said the stress I am under and not eating regularly like I should could cause it to do that but, boy is it a weird feeling. When I get home I am gonna crash!!

Lee had another practice today for his traveling team. They are looking good I am being told. We are gonna have a meet and greet at our house next Sat for all the family's and player's. We have 2 boys playing from Calhoun, 1 from Woodland, 1 from South Central and I believe everyone else is from A'ville. So I think it will be nice to socialize with the parents and players so we can know each other on and off the field. Go Bartow Bulldogs!!!

I know I am awful but I still have got to get the other middle school players names that made the baseball team. I can not wait until the game opener!!

Well, I have been reading a lot while I have been feeling yucky! James Patterson has been seeing me through. I read his Judge and Jury Friday and finished it up yesterday. Then when Tracy came by to check on me yesterday she brought me her moms copy of his Cross Country. I started it today. I just love to read his books they are soo.. fasted paced you can not put them down.

I will be off Monday and Tuesday, but no rest Lee has baseball errands for me to run and so does our treasurer. Then I will unpack a little more. I would really love for all decorating and picture hanging to be done in time for our Hot dog Social next Sat.

I hope everyone has found sunshine in their day!! I am finally seeing a few rays of my own!!(Insider for blog friend!) Smile and the world will smile with you...Frown and you will gets wrinkles!!!!!!!!
